Temekylopí Festival della Canzone 3

Temekylopí Festival della Canzone 3 was the third edition of the Temekylopí Festival della Canzone national finals. On the 16th of September, after previously internally selecting a song for Maia Song Contest 3, the TSBN decided to bring back the national final system.

Votes started to be accepted on the 29th of September at 21:00 CET, and votes stopped being accepted at the 8th of October at 04:00 CET, and the results were made public at 00:00 CET on the 9th of October.

It was a full show, containing an intro, introductions of every song, a recap, an interval act and a full voting segment.

Charlie was chosen to be the winner, after she won the jurors vote with 153 points, followed by Seinabo Sey, which received 128 points. Charlie represented Temekylopia in Maia Song Contest 4.

Hints
Ten songs were confirmed for Temekylopí Festival della Canzone 3. One line from each song was released to the public without vowels to see if anyone could guess what the songs are. On the 23rd of September, additional hints were released, because not many people had made correct guesses. Once a song received 5 correct guesses, the song became public. If you managed to correctly guess any of the songs, there's a higher chance I'll vote in your national finals! (Thank you to Izola for letting me use this!)

False rumours

 * Joanna Ryde was rumoured to be in the running order, however, she was not on the final list of participating artists.
 * Fast Food Rockers were rumoured to be reunited in an interval act, but this was confirmed false.
 * The running order was rumoured to contain mostly claimed Temekylopian artists.
 * There was a rumor that CupcakKe would make a comeback, after previously competing in Temekylopí Festival della Canzone 2, however, she was not on the final list of participating artists.
 * There was a rumor that Dunja Ilić would've been internally selected as Temekylopia's entry, however, this was confirmed false, as the national final system was brought back. However, Dunja is competing in Temekylopí Festival della Canzone 3.
 * There was a rumor that Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 and Tara Dikov would be the hosts. Lil' Pound Cake was also rumoured to co-host, possibly as a green room host. This was proven false, as Lena Philipsson and Katya Zamolodchikova were announced to be the hosts on the 27th of September 2016, with no co-host being announced.

Incidents

 * Wulan Tuoya was originally set to compete, but one day after her mystery song was revealed, she had to withdraw, due to health issues within her family. She was replaced shortly with mystery artist/song #9, which was Lily Allen with the song "URL Badman".


 * Mischen was originally set to vote, but since they were pulled out of the contest, their votes are deemed invalid, as you need to be competing Maia Song Contest 4 to be able to vote in Temekylopí Festival della Canzone.


 * During the live results show, after Webcam Julia (the spokesperson for Klapaucius) revealed the points from the Klapaucian jurors, she made a comment about her Cam4 live show airing in a few minutes after she had revealed the points. However, she didn't manage to complete her sentence as she was hung up on by the TSBN.


 * During the live results show, Daya, the spokesperson for Lussantia, started yelling at the hosts, calling them "inbred cunts" and "fucking pieces of shits", since Temekylopia only gave The Chainsmokers ft. Daya one point in Maia Song Contest 2. Katya Zamolodchikova asked for a new spokesperson, but Daya gave the points anyway. It's also worth mentioning that she did not mention any artists, and instead used terms such as "that weird polish lady" and "the other black lady", referring to Sylwia Grzeszczak and Fleur East.
